Wildlife – Brown Tarantula on Trail Saturday

Oct. 24, 2009 – While doing our trail watch hours on the trail Saturday we got to see a fair sized ” Brown Tarantula” on the trail.  We watched him for a while and made sure he go off the trail before heading back to the trailhead.  The sighting took place near MM 13 on the River Mountains Loop Trail within Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

Here is a couple of photos:

Love our trail!

Love our trail!🎙️ New Podcast Episode Alert 🚨

Ever wondered what it takes to maintain 34 miles of paved paradise? 🌵

In this episode of The Best Dam Podcast, Howard is joined by Paul Grube, President of the River Mountains Loop Trail Partnership. Paul takes us behind the scenes of one of Southern Nevada’s most beloved outdoor assets—the River Mountains Loop Trail.

www.bouldercitychamber.com/connecting-communities-34-miles-of-cycling-hiking-and-history-on-the-r...

From its "happy hour" beginnings in the late '90s to becoming a world-class 34-mile loop connecting Boulder City, Henderson, and Lake Mead, this trail is a testament to community vision.

Highlights include:

🐢 The funny story of the "moving rock" (spoiler: it was a tortoise!).
🐑 Tips for spotting bighorn sheep and other local wildlife.
🛠️ How the Partnership acts as the "eyes and ears" to keep the trail safe.
🚲 Why you don’t even need your own bike to get started.

Whether you’re a hardcore cyclist or just love a morning stroll, you won’t want to miss Paul’s insights on this local treasure! ☀️
